By default, this post holds a special place in my heart for the mere fact that it is centered around one of my favorite colors. I am personally obsessed with the intensity and strength that the color red gives off, so I had no hesitation about making sure that every location had some distinct red elements. I just love how the red scenery really brings out the stripes in the dress as well as the fieriness of the jacket. Because this look emphasized such a vibrant color, I tried to keep the rest of my accessories subtle yet interesting by pairing the dress with black gladiator sandals and a leather 5-panel cap. I think when styling an outfit with a “loud” focal point, it is important to keep the accessories minimal and eye-catching without losing the focus of the ensemble. One way to do this is by playing with different textures and fabrics. As with all of my looks, I think it’s important to take risks and push the envelope. So take the challenge! Style a look using a bright color and see how you like it. 🙂
